In Debian we've an open bug report (#795052) regarding usage of embedded libexif.

Looking into framework/modules/c_LibExifModule, its NEWS file refers to a no-longer existing URL/project: https://github.com/sleuthkit/c_LibExifModule/issues which ends in a 404.

Also there are quite some (security related) bugfixes in libexif (currently being at 0.6.21), while framework/modules/c_LibExifModule is still on 0.6.20. Even the latest stable release 0.6.21 is very old and there are many changes pending in libexif git master (see https://github.com/libexif/libexif/commits/master), waiting to see a new release (tracked in libexif/libexif#12).

Maybe it would make sense to update the framework/modules/c_LibExifModule to a more recent version?
And maybe we could clarify the question especially for Debian: does the embedded libexif actually matter for non-Windows builds?

Thanks!

Closing this since the framework has been removed from the codebase.
